I first spotted a faint stain on the ceiling after a light shower and didn’t think much of it. But after a recent storm here, the stain darkened and spread, and I noticed a slow drip in the kitchen. I placed a bucket under it, but now I’m worried. Our tiled roof is over a decade old. I’ve heard small leaks can lead to serious damage if left alone. It doesn’t seem major yet, but it’s clearly getting worse. Am I overthinking it or is it time to call in a professional?
Tell me about it. I’ve fixed my fair share of leaky roofs and sometimes you just make an educated guess and hope. I hate getting up into the ceiling but sometimes it’s the only way to trace the water from the end point to the source. With tiled roofs however, it can be nice and obvious with something like a cracked tile or a tile that’s shifted out of place.
